After acquiring an excessive amount of knowledge from 001, Di Xiu began to handle the original owner's work somewhat clumsily, and even managed to steal a moment to discuss future directions with 001 while multitasking.
Although they deduced that the original owner's unfortunate fate was related to the female lead, there was always a chance of something going wrong. The two decided to prioritize accumulating merit, since energy was the most important thing.
Emperor Xiu asked 001 what else could be converted besides merit. 001 said luck and faith, but he didn't have the conversion program installed. The only other option was to directly obtain spacetime energy, but the technology level of this world was not up to standard, so it was impossible to achieve.
Merit is relatively easy to accumulate; on a small scale, it's doing good deeds, and on a larger scale, it's saving the world.
This world doesn't need a savior. After comprehensive analysis, 001 suggests that the path forward is for Di Xiu to work hard, get promoted and make a fortune, implement policies that benefit the country and its people, and incidentally eliminate the Huo family, this tumor growing on the lifeline of Country C.
Eliminating the Huo family also has another benefit: it prevents the timeline from continuing to develop, thus ensuring that Emperor Xiu and the original owner of this body will both perish.
"At this rate, in ten years at most, I should have enough merit to reconnect with the main system."
Emperor Xiu: "..."
"Ten years is just the beginning, great master, I believe you can do it."
Ten years is but a fleeting moment for a former imperial cultivator, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what ten years means for humanity.
After finishing his day's work, Di Xiu returned to the villa.
Five maids, along with a cook, stood at the door to greet the guests, led by the butler, with ingratiating smiles on their faces.
Zhou Xiuyuan usually attends classes on weekdays and only comes on weekends, so he was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
A light drizzle began to fall. Zhou Lie, holding a large black umbrella in one hand, opened the car door for him with great courtesy and bowed low, saying, "Welcome home, sir."
Di Xiu's gaze swept over him and headed straight for the door. Zhou Lie quickly followed, holding up his umbrella.
The rain started when they were almost home. 001, hanging on Di Xiu's shoulder, whispered in his ear, "Master, let me tell you, many plots love to be set in the rain, especially for various conflicts."
The dinner on the table was changed to a flavor that this body liked. After Di Xiu finished dinner, Zhou Lie finally couldn't help but bring up the young lady again.
"Sir, Miss Yuan called today, inviting her to go out for a few days."
Seeing Di Xiu looking over, he quickly added, "Miss has depended on you since she was a child and has always listened to you. Between you and Mr. Huo, she will naturally choose you. She has been thinking about it all day and has decided to let go, but she feels sad and wants to go out for a walk to clear her mind."
I'll take her to the airport tomorrow morning.
"ah?"
After Di Xiu finished speaking, he headed towards the stairs. Zhou Lie quickly followed and asked, "Sir, what... what do you mean by this?"
Di Xiu didn't want to waste any more words with him. He heard the sound of a door opening and closing above him, and the soft sound of shoes walking on the carpet. He looked up and saw a haggard-looking girl looking at him with teary eyes, biting her lip, full of grievance.
"Daddy, don't you want me anymore?"
Di Xiu wasn't used to explaining his actions, but the two of them were blocking the stairwell from both ends, and it seemed they wouldn't give up until they got an explanation.
He suppressed his urge to abandon the person, and emphasized to himself once again that the rules here were different from those of his original world before simply explaining: "You need to let go, you need to clear your mind, and stay as far away from him as possible."
Xia Xueqing's wide eyes were full of resistance. She and Zhou Lie stared in disbelief, one speechless and the other dumbfounded. The maid who had applied medicine to Di Xiu yesterday asked, "Where does the master intend to send Miss?"
Country D.
Xia Xueqing knows some Mandarin, which is somewhat of a consideration for her.
Di Xiu stood on the step below Xia Xueqing, but his height advantage still made him a few centimeters taller than her. He glanced at her coldly and indifferently, and she trembled, her eyes instantly filling with tears, but she subconsciously stepped aside.
As he walked past, Xia Xueqing unconsciously grabbed his sleeve and pleaded, "Daddy, can I not go?"
Di Xiu brushed her hand away and continued upwards into the study.
The door slammed shut, and Xia Xueqing collapsed to the ground, large tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were lifeless, filled with helplessness and despair. She slowly hugged herself and covered her face, weeping bitterly.
Zhou Lie and the others felt sorry for him and coaxed and persuaded him to return to his room, but they complained about it in private.
001 clicked his tongue and said, "Such a beautiful day, perfect for running away from home, yet the female lead didn't run away."
After saying that, he pointed at Di Xiu and said, "You are just like Huo Ting's family, domineering and autocratic parents from the old society who hinder their children's free love."
Di Xiu slowly spoke: "The Huo family's obstruction is because they look down on Su Xiaoxue. I look down on both of them equally."
001 knew he was serious, but it was precisely this seriousness that made him want to laugh.
Emperor Xiu's divine sense was indeed powerful. Even though his sea of consciousness was now broken and fragile, it did not change its strength. In one day, he had enough time to understand most of the world. In fact, because of the wide range of knowledge he had gained, he could be said to know everything.
He skillfully used the internet to search for the trivial information he needed, occasionally jotting down notes in his notebook.
001 sat down at the computer, peeked at it for a while, smacked her lips a couple of times, and then stopped worrying about him. She rolled onto the thick, soft carpet and started reading a melodramatic novel she had downloaded from the internet.
World lines and these novels often have similarities. Reading more of them can help him analyze world lines, and, well, it's also a good way to pass the time.
